"Haha, my Li Bai is invincible in the world. Do you five little wastrels think you can kill me?"
In the dilapidated brick and tile house, a maniacal laughter broke the silence of the early morning, followed by a satisfied groan.
The room was not big, about ten square meters, but was filled with four beds, occupying most of the room.
Wang AnGe's loud shout woke the other three in the room. Seeing the faint light of dawn outside, they immediately shot him displeased glares.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a gray robe walked in furiously, swept a gaze in the room, identified who made the shout, and strode over to Wang AnGe's bed. He grabbed the mattress and yanked, pulling Wang AnGe to the ground.
A wave of intense pain surged from his buttocks, making Wang AnGe cry out and immediately open his eyes.
Seeing his current surrounding, Wang AnGe’s eyes widened, he looked left and right, but couldn’t find anything familiar.
Especially after seeing a middle-aged man in seemingly ancient clothing, Wang AnGe scratched his head in confusion, "Huh? Are you filming a movie? Why are you dressed like this? And, how did I end up here?"
"Wang AnGe, do you really think you're the Young Sect Master? You haven't completed tasks for three consecutive days, and you dare to disrupt my sleep!" growled the middle-aged man angrily. "Not only do you not apologize, but you still have the audacity to feign ignorance with me! All three of you, get out! Today, your task quantity is doubled!"
The three men were already feeling upset because of Wang AnGe's neglect of duty, and this only fueled their rage.
Knowing that the middle-aged man was in a furious mood, none of them dared to argue or retort. They quickly grabbed their clothes and ran out, with the last person even remembering to shut the door.
The middle-aged man, seeing the quick reaction of the last person, flashed a moment of approval in his eyes. However, as he turned to Wang AnGe, his look of fury resumed.
"You brat, dare to disturb my sleep, I swear by Zhou Cheng, I'll beat you to death today!" The middle-aged man, Zhou Cheng, scolded as he landed a kick in Wang AnGe's stomach.
Barely standing up and still dazedly trying to make sense of the situation, Wang AnGe was once again knocked down by Zhou Cheng. He doubled up in pain, clutching his stomach like a shrimps, but this was just the beginning of Zhou Cheng's venting.
Immediately, a series of thuds resounded within the room.
When Zhou Cheng stepped out of the room, he began to massage his slightly numb fists and chuckled: "Beating up the Young Sect Leader indeed feels exhilarating. Elder, the task you assigned to me, was simply outstanding, hehehe…"
Although Zhou Cheng's voice wasn't loud, Wang An Ge, who was moaning in pain, could hear it clearly. He was puzzled, “Wasn't I just playing King of Glory? How did I end up here? And what does Young Sect Leader mean?"
Wang An Ge was just an ordinary sixteen-year-old teenager on Earth. Before he woke up, there was a heavy rainstorm outside. Thunder was roaring, but he was still engrossed in the 'King of Glory' ranking match. As a thunderclap echoed, he vaguely remembered the room's lights flickering, everything went black in front of his eyes, and the next thing he knew, he was here.
"Did I...did I time-travel?"
Wang An Ge was so excited that the spots where he was hit by Zhou Cheng began to hurt even more, and his eyes turned cold.
Back on Earth, he had always been a person who wouldn't take an insult lying down. During school, he never invited trouble, but anyone who gave him a hard time would be beaten half to death by him. Due to this, he received lots of legal lessons but his nature never changed.
Even though he was confused about why he'd ended up here, the beating he got had deeply imprinted in his heart.
Suddenly, a wave of unfamiliar memories emerged in his mind and forcefully merged, causing him to experience a splitting headache.
As both sets of memories fused together, he began to understand everything.
He had indeed time-traveled, arriving in Qing Shui Country, in a land known as the 'Mainland of Glory'.
Qing Shui country was located in the Qi Lian mountain range, with only seven peaks, Tian Yun Sect resided on the central peak.
According to the memories, Tian Yun Sect seemed to have hundreds of disciples, yet, they couldn't occupy all of the seven peaks. Consequently, the other six peaks became the places where the Tian Yun Sect farmed, cut wood, and fetched water.
His identity in this world was the Young Sect Leader of Tian Yun Sect, with a ninth-level martial arts cultivation base. He was considered the first of the younger generation in the sect, and his father was the Sect Leader of Tian Yun Sect.
However, that changed three years ago.
It was a rainy night three years ago. Several powerful beings that could fly descended upon the Tian Yun Sect. After staying for the duration of a cup of tea, they disappeared without a trace. Along with them, his father, Wang Jian, also mysteriously disappeared.
The clan leader vanished and, in theory, he should have succeeded him as the new leader. However, he was too young at the time to shoulder the difficulty of leading the Tianyun Clan. After an elders' meeting, it was decided that the eldest elder would take over the clan's management.
On the third night after Wang Jian's disappearance, a masked man, clad in black, broke into his room. The intruder shattered all the meridians and Dantian in his body, making him less than an ordinary man - a waste.
From the high position of Young Clan Leader, he was transformed overnight into a nothing, this dramatic disparity in status brought Wang An Ge endless humiliation and trouble.
"Am I useless?"
Wang An Ge was suddenly taken back, his face turning pallid.
After some memories were triggered, Wang An Ge immediately understood his precarious situation.
His existence was a thorn in some people's side within the Tianyun Clan. They would love nothing more than to see him gone!
With no power, no backing, if it were not for the eldest elder being unable to strip him of his title as Young Clan Leader, he would have probably died a long time ago.
But this situation, he feared, would not last much longer.
This could be seen from the increasingly harsh attitude of the housekeeper Zhou.
It's over!
He's about to meet his doom just after transmigration!
At that moment, Wang An Ge felt a wave of despair.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a 'ding-dong' sound echoed in Wang An Ge's brain, startling him.
But a single "bing" sound was just the beginning!
"Congratulations to the player 'Wang An Ge,' now host of the Golden Finger System."
"Congratulations on successfully activating the Golden Finger System. Would you like to view character attributes?"
"Congratulations on successfully activating the upgrade system. Would you like to view level attributes?"
"Congratulations on receiving a beginner's gift bag. Would you like to open it?"
A system? Attributes? A beginner's gift bag?
A ray of light flickered through Wang An Ge's vacant eyes. He was already a game enthusiast, so no sound was more familiar to him than this.
Isn't this a system prompt?
What's going on?
However, right at this moment, the malicious voice of the butler Zhou suddenly echoed.
"Wang An Ge, your task amount for today is doubled. In addition to your previous tasks, if you do not bring back ten cut trees by tonight, do not bother coming back at all, and forget about having dinner."
"Ding!"
"Task received: Cut down ten trees. Reward: thirty experience points. Do you accept?"
Is there even a task?
Did I cross over to a game and can now increase my level by completing monster-killing tasks?
If it's really like that, then...
At the thought of leveling up by killing monsters, Wang An Ge was thrilled.
When it comes to leveling up, I'm an expert!
